Trick for butter straight from the fridge: use a cheese slicer.
Microplane grater. It's also great for baking when you don't want to wait for butter to soften.
Although for baking I usually grab frozen butter so it doesn't squish in my hands.
Or a cheese grater, like the small kind on a handle.
I think you mean “Ostehøvel”
Indeed I do, and for butter, it should be the kind that produces thin, wavy slices.
Fuck that’s a sexy image of toast… and butter. I’m in!
If it's your first time, make sure it's special. Don't use that cheap, regular butter. Spend a little extra and get the fancy stuff. In Norway, you'd be looking for this one in the shop:
Sweetie, my first time - the cows were milked by Hasidic monks in the silvery light of the moon at Sumer solstice and churned by the feet of Buzz’s tarantula, dancing the tarantella while listening to the music of John Candy’s polka band in the U-Haul that brought Catherine O’Hara home to Kevin in the eternal classic Midnight Cowboy; launching Jason Bateman’s acting career.
Edit: his bro’s name was Buzz…
Hehe. That's what I was here to say.
Except that I just use a thin knife.
Then lay the thin butter slice on the toast that just came out and is still warm. It melts as you look at it.
